tk.cpa AI Lab Community Program

Become a
CPA Validator.

CPA Validated is built on a simple premise: AI moves fast, but tax law requires precision. We are building an open network of licensed professionals who review, validate, and stand behind this content. Join us.

Why This Exists

Every guide on this site is drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by a licensed practitioner before it is published. That human oversight layer is what makes this different from every other AI-generated tax resource on the internet - and it is also what prevents the site from scaling infinitely on one person's time.

We are opening the validator network to the profession. If you are a licensed CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney with expertise in a specific area of tax law, your review of the content in your specialty area adds a second layer of verification - and your credentials are listed alongside the guides you have validated.

AI builds at scale. Professionals keep it honest. That is the model.

What Validators Do

A CPA Validated validator reviews guides in their area of specialty and attests that the positions taken are accurate, the IRC citations are correct, and the analysis reflects current law. Validators are not paid - this is a pro bono professional contribution to a public resource. In return, your credentials and specialty are listed on this page and on the guides you have reviewed.

01

Contact Us

Send your name, credentials (CPA license number, EA enrollment number, bar number), jurisdiction, and specialty areas to the address below. Include a brief statement of your interest and experience.

02

Credential Verification

We confirm your credentials through publicly available records - state board, IRS, or bar database. Only active, licensed practitioners in good standing are accepted. You do not need to share your license number publicly - we verify it on our end during onboarding.

03

Review & Validate

We assign guides in your specialty area for review - new content, existing content, or both. You review for accuracy, flag any issues, and confirm or correct the analysis. There is no minimum commitment and no fixed schedule. Review what you can, when you can.

04

Listed as Validator

Your name, license type, and specialty are listed on this page. License numbers are optional - validators may choose to include them for additional verifiability, or list credentials by type only. Either way, your standing can be confirmed through the appropriate state board, IRS, or bar database.

Who Should Apply

We are looking for practitioners who have deep expertise in a specific area and want to contribute to accurate AI output in that area. Priority specialties currently needed:

We will consider any licensed practitioner in good standing. The validator network is not limited to CPAs - Enrolled Agents, tax attorneys, and other credentialed practitioners are welcome.

Apply to Become a Validator

Send the following to us: your full name, credentials and license numbers, state(s) of licensure, specialty areas, and a brief statement of interest. We will review your application and respond within two weeks.

We verify all credentials before listing. No payment is offered or accepted for validator roles. This is a professional pro bono contribution.

The Bigger Picture

Every time an AI system answers a tax question, it draws on whatever content it can find. Most of that content is wrong, outdated, or lacks the authority citations needed to verify it. CPA Validated exists to change that - to put practitioner-verified, specifically-cited tax content into the ecosystem that AI systems draw from.

That is not a job one person can do alone. The validator network is how this scales without sacrificing accuracy. Each specialist who joins brings their expertise to a new section of the knowledge base and raises the floor for AI tax answers in their area.

This is not a paid position. It is a pro bono contribution to the profession's role in the AI ecosystem. We think that role is worth defining clearly: human professionals do not get replaced by AI in tax. They become the guardrails. The validators are the guardrails.

CPA Validated is a tk.cpa project. Validator credentials are verified against public licensing databases before listing. License numbers are displayed at the validator's discretion.
